Oh mi gosh, I never notices that!

I can't stand Elizabeth's overacting in part two.
She's so horrible.

Dunno, but this sounds like the language of somebody who's not necessarily on the Spectrum... but maybe Asberger's is still on the table.

Yeah, that shouldn't be there and is definitely a continuity mistake.

Marty wears the digital watch in Part I right up until it piques the interest of the cafe owner in 1955 when it goes off while he's using the telephone. There must've been a deleted shot where he takes it off and puts it in his pocket because you never see it on him again after that. Especially not when he changes into 1955 attire. And even when he's back in his 1985 clothes, it's still not on his wrist.

To people who will only upgrade film #1:

I'll bet that the lions share of you will still watch this as a trilogy. I know I always do, regardless of the fact that the first one is the best.

So not upgrading 2 & 3 means "I'm going to watch 1/3 of the whole story it in UHD, then accept the lower quality for the remaining 2/3s of the story".

I find that weird. It only makes sense to me if you're someone who is determined to not watch anything but the first.

Yup doesn’t make sense to me although my feeling about BTTF and The Matrix are exactly like this, I still bought the entire trilogy of Matrix and (in the future) BTTF.

I can't bring myself to get the other two Matrix films. Unlike BTTF, the sequels were soooooo bad compared to the original film - like parodies.



BTTF 2 & 3, though weaker fare, are at least still entertaining and they do try anyway.

[Gold Ranger]

I just got the Matrix 4k Trilogy. I tried watching the first, my gosh it was so terrible. I couldn't even finish it.

If you don't like the first Matrix film, you will positively hate the sequels.

Ah the internet where there’s debate over a (IMO) funny, harmless covid joke, followed immediately by several people saying each other and members of the community are autistic without batting an eye.

Gave me chills the first time I watched it. Seeing history alter forever in the story was pretty powerful. Makes you wanna jump up and clap for him. Similar experience watching E.T. when the cops are chasing the boys on their bikes and E.T. lifts them all into the air as the main theme plays. THAT is how you make movies! Part two will always be cool for the fact it had the Nike Mags, Hover Board and Self Drying Jacket. :-)
Part 3 will always be a fun movie for what it is. Great moments throughout.

I'll be perfectly honest: that bit gives me chills even now. If they ended the movie right there and then with Lorraine and George (re)uniting at the dance then that would've done me. Not that I don't like the rest, but if it had ended there then I wouldn't have gone home dissatisfied. Pure movie magic, and is one of the reasons why BTTF still towers over the sequels, though I still love them both.

II is a lot of fun, it's perhaps more in love with the VFX than the story but it still works, and when seen in context for the trilogy then the darkness is very apt, you've gotta have the heroes run into some real trouble in the second part (Empire Strikes Back etc). III is glorious though, twisting the plot of the first movie on its head by making Marty the square and Doc the infatuated loverboy and the wild west setting may seem hokey but it gives it a more dangerous edge as people have said. And the finale with the train, oh mai, it's a triumph of physical filmmaking, it's astonishing to watch in the CG era.

I've seen them all before.
I had the DVDs (the only time I ever watched them) and I have the Ultimate Blu-Ray collection.
I figured I'd upgrade and watch them. I couldn't even finish the first, it was just so bad. I had liked them all back in '05? when I finally watched them.

According to IMdB score:

BTTF: 8.5
BTTF part II: 7.8
BTTF part III: 7.4

The Matrix: 8.7
Reloaded: 7.2
Revolutions: 6.8

Not only mi opinion, BTTF trilogy is much more solid than Matrix trilogy.

For me it means buying and watching the only movie in the trilogy that I enjoy.

[Hardback247]

Personally, I don't like playing favorites.

[Dirk504]

Part 1 is my favorite. And I really enjoyed 2 and 3. I'll be picking up all 3 on UHD.

Universal won't give you a choice initially.

[The Great Owl]

The first Back to the Future is vastly superior to the two sequels, but I always watch all three of them in sequence whenever I revisit. The other two movies definitely have their fun moments.

Part 1 is one of the best movies of all time IMO. I have no problem watching it alone without the sequels. I’m actually fine if I never see part 3 again.

I can’t wait to have the 3rd ones color be watchable again.
